Do you want to work with advanced technology that makes a real difference in society? SMHI is seeking a Technical Systems Administrator who wants to work in operations within a complex and societally important IT environment. With us, you'll help ensure stable, modern, and fit-for-purpose systems and services used throughout the organization – every single day.
About the role
As a Technical Systems Administrator, you will work in operations with responsibility for technology, operations, and further development within selected system areas. The role involves long-term responsibility for ensuring stable, secure, and well-functioning solutions in close collaboration with both business units and IT colleagues.
Initially, you will primarily work within a team that, among other things, is responsible for SMHI's chat tools, document management systems, and office applications. You will work with operations, maintenance, support, development, and technical management of these systems. You will also contribute your technical expertise in procurements and implementation of new solutions.
The role also involves progressively working with more systems and services within the unit's area of responsibility.
You will become part of the Digital Workplace unit, which is responsible for developing and managing SMHI's digital workplace and several business support systems used across the organization. The unit works closely with the business with a focus on user-friendly and fit-for-purpose solutions, in many cases based on open source, that meet the needs of both specialist operations and the broader organization.
About you
We are looking for someone with an academic degree in IT or other experience that SMHI considers equivalent. You have good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written. Work experience is required in configuring, customizing, and operating systems on Linux platforms, as well as a few years of experience with similar tasks in an operations-focused IT environment. To succeed in this role, you need to have a holistic perspective and understand how different systems and technical solutions interact within a larger IT environment.
It is advantageous if you also have:
- Experience with operations and management of systems on Windows platforms
- Experience with Exchange, networking, and IT infrastructure
- Worked in government agencies, regions, or municipalities and have understanding of public procurement regulations
- Knowledge of Agile work methods and approaches
- Relevant certifications in the field
The role involves close collaboration with IT colleagues, suppliers, and the business, which makes it important that you are service-oriented and enjoy helping others find workable solutions. Since the systems are used broadly in the organization, you need to be able to understand business needs and translate them into stable and usable technology.
We are looking for someone who is stable and confident even in situations where the pace is high or when problems need to be solved quickly in operations-focused environments. You also have good collaboration skills and build trusting relationships by being attentive, communicative, and solution-oriented.
The role requires initiative and responsibility-taking, while you also appreciate working together with skilled colleagues in a complex and societally important IT environment. Great emphasis will be placed on your personal qualities.
